Associations and Causal Relationships Between Early Bioactive Nutrient Intake, Health, and Disease
Speakers:
Josef Neu, MD
Event date: 10 April 2024
The gastrointestinal tract does more than digest food and absorb nutrients. It is home to the body’s largest immune organ and harbors an extensive microbial ecosystem, the gut microbiome.
A single layer of epithelial cells separates the intestinal lumen and its contents from highly immunoreactive subepithelial layers. Breakdown of the intestinal epithelium early in life can have tremendous lifelong consequences.
In this lecture, Dr. Neu provides a brief refresher on the intestinal immune system. He also shares his thoughts on the future use of multiomics, artificial intelligence, and systems biology approach for identifying individuals at risk for developing health issues.
